After a sudden layoff at the packaging plant, I fell 3 months behind on rent. Last Friday a court summons for non-payment was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $450.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by March, we must leave.
I have three school-aged children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working extra hours at a market stall, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $450 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• First month of rent as a buffer: $65
• Rent arrears (3 months): $350
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
